The Special Investigation Team (SIT) on May 18 (Saturday) began investigation into the major incidents of violence that occurred in a few districts on the polling day and the following days, disturbing the law and order situation in the State.
A couple of days ago, the Chief Secretary (CS), K.S. Jawahar Reddy, and the Director General of Police (DGP), Harish Kumar Gupta, met the Chief Election Commissioner Rajiv Kumar in New Delhi and explained about the violence that took place in A.P. when the Model Code of Conduct (MCC) is in force.
The Election Commission of India (ECI), which directed the CS and the DGP to take stern action against the culprits involved in the violence, approved the State’s proposal to go for a probe by a SIT into the incidents.
